Corvus Posts Data From Discontinued Mupadolimab COVID-19 Program - Corvus Pharma (NASDAQ:CRVS)

Corvus Pharmaceuticals Inc CRVS has shared data from the Phase 3 mupadolimab COVID-19 trial.
The data from 40 patients suggested improvement in the primary and key secondary endpoints in patients treated with single doses of mupadolimab at 2mg/kg and 1mg/kg compared to placebo.
No drug-related adverse events were reported.
The Company said antiviral responses in the 2mg/kg cohort trended higher across all variants tested, including delta.
In July, Corvus discontinued the COVID-19 trial, which had planned to enroll approximately 1,000 patients due to positive trends exhibited by COVID-19 vaccines.

In addition, positive trends favoring mupadolimab treatment compared to placebo were seen for time to clinical improvement and hospital discharge.
